Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm that estimates hepatic steatosis using ultrasound (US) B-mode images in pediatric participants with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The MRI proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) serves as the reference standard for hepatic fat quantification.

Inclusion Criteria

  • participants aged 8 to 18 years clinically indicated for liver ultrasound examination to evaluate hepatic steatosis
  • participants with suspected or known metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)
  • able to understand the study purpose and provide written informed consent (from both participant and legal guardian).
  • agree to undergo same-day liver MRI examination in addition to the ultrasound

  • determined by the investigator to be otherwise unsuitable for participation after consultation

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Agreement Between AI-Predicted Ultrasound Fat Fraction (AI-USFF) and MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction (MRI-PDFF)

Time Frame: At time of imaging (single visit)

Reference standard: MRI-PDFF (percentage) \- intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Diagnostic Performance of AI-USFF for MRI-Based Hepatic Steatosis Grades(At time of imaging (single visit))
  • Inter-Vendor Reproducibility of AI-USFF(At time of imaging (single visit))
  • Correlation Between AI-USFF and MRI-PDFF(At time of imaging (single visit))
